Answers to common depository questions
Is the gold real physical metal?
Yes. 100% of Sierra specimens represent genuine natural placer and crystalline gold sourced from historic California deposits. Every piece is certified for weight, fineness, and tamper-evident custody.
How does Depository Vault custody work?
Acquired specimens remain in your personal digital Vault under institutional bailment at zero ongoing storage or maintenance fees. You maintain legal ownership until you request delivery or accept a buyback.
How are orders shipped to my home?
Shipments are dispatched via certified courier services with full transit insurance. Delivery confirmation is required upon arrival.
Can I sell my vaulted gold back to Sierra?
Yes. Sierra provides discretionary instant buyback quotes for unredeemed vault holdings. Accepted buybacks are credited as Sierra Store Credit to your account ledger for future allocations.
